Ode to an Oyster

Stupid skinny girl, angry at the world
Blame your skin and your weight
for everything you hate, dumb girl

took the bait, happiness can wait
You can stand a few more years
feeling less than great

I can't apologize with incrimination in my eyes
I'm sorry if I have to cry
but this grain of sand is hard to hide
I can't apologize with incrimination in my eyes
I'm sorry if I have to cry
but this grain of sand is hard to

I cannot apologize without some pride

Love is something sacred they don't expect of you
You'll be smart and friendly and forgotten
when they're through with you

after every morning you just want to be screwed
scraping by so skillfully
the way real women do around you

Pretending to be happy, pretending they're okay
There's a smile when you look at me
but when I turn away
you're pretending to be happy, pretending you're okay
There's a smile when you look at me
but when I turn away

there is boredom on your face, on your face
